Nutrition to Improve Sleep | Runners Need Their Zzz's

[@MATACUERO]

I got sleepy just watching this but hopefully it helps my long run tomorrow. Thanks TRE!

I usually get 7-9 hours a night. Turning off all electric media a couple of hours before bed and reading a book allows me to get to sleep easily.

[@MK-je7kz]

In the winter I get 8-9 hours of sleep and sometimes even more, depending on workouts. Now it's summer and it's 30c in my bedroom, so I sleep about 7 hours (sometimes 8) in 1-2 hour splits (when I usually need to drink). As it is summer and bright, even in cool room I sleep about the same, but continuously. And I don't feel tired at all.

since tracking my weight and sleep everyday, the data is in.....more sleep = less weight

[@ACTruitt]

more time sleeping=less time eating

[@cynthiaburris5226]

I LOVE plant based golden milk before bed. You mix a plant based milk with turmeric, ginger, black pepper, a little coconut oil and honey. It’s warm and soothing , and a FANTASTIC anti-inflammatory, to help speed up the recovery process.

[@edwardwickham6833]

Can someone post a more detailed recipe for this? This sounds like something my wife will love!

[@DartmoorPaul]

Great video. I’ve been having quite a few disturbed nights due to new puppy in house. Training at the weekend was really tough mentally and physically. Had to back right off as tired. Today, you’re right, I craved sugary carbs.

[@TheRunExperience]

That puppy phase can be rough, but hopefully you have a great running partner in the future! :)

Hi! When it's hard to get some sleep I used to drink a rosemary and peppermint infusion....

[@handlemybiz]

Green tea works for me. I am one that gets 5-6 per night, but I've worn my Garmin while sleeping. On the nights I drink green tea about 30min before bed, my deep sleep increases by around double than my average. From 1-1.5hrs to 2-3hrs of deep sleep. And I sleep a bit longer.

[@handlemybiz]

I prefer green tea, i do lowest caffeinated ones, but it might work with any tea. I haven't tried any others. I found out by mistake. Decided to drink tea late one night. Didnt plan to go to sleep. 30min late I woke up 8hrs later. LOL So decided to test it for 5 days. 2 nights with tea, 2 nights without, 1 night with. And yes, yay Garmin. Not only did I feel better rested and ready for the next day with the night time tea, but I had some hard data to convince me. This worked for me and could just be a personal thing. Might be my version of warm milk.

Deep belly breathing, make me calm down and fall asleep easier.

This topic has really been on my radar the past few weeks, ever since I watched to a Kelly Starrett video where he talked about sleep and how if you're getting less than 6.5 hours a night, then your body is effectively pre-diabetic, so lack of sleep really messes with your blood chemistry in not good and sustainable ways. Dathan Ritzenhein, in Nate's UCan sponsored panel discussion also mentioned that sleep was his number one training tip. I know a lot of elite athletes take naps every day to help recovery during two-a-day workouts out of necessity.

[@WannabeMonkey]

Read the book Why we sleep by Matthew walker to enlighten more your knowledge about sleep. It help me a lot .

[@ryanpadilla2290]

On a weekday I get about 6 hours but I make it up on the weekends and average out to 7.5 hours

[@danpop3809]

Hei. Thanks for the informations. I sleep around 7 and half hours a night. It would Be better 8 sometimes.

[@AussieMom5353]

I get about 6-8 hrs but they aren't quality. I think I'll try the valerian root tea or the tart cherry juice before bed. Thanks for the suggestions and your videos!

[@lilyduesbout6738]

8 hrs and 30 min

[@alanshrimpton6787]

I do shift work which really messes with my sleep. 3 weeks of afternoon 5 days off then 1 week of nights 1.5 days off then 3 days 2 afternoons and 2 nights then 1.5 days off then 3 early starts followed by 4 early starts. Very hard to do a routine and have no answer.

[@TheRunExperience]

Alan, sometimes you just have to set a calendar in front of you and plug in the times you can run, make it a plan.

[@northernninjarunner5506]

Garmin says I get 7-8 hours a night. Strangely some night I get 22 minutes of deep sleep and others over 4 hours. Stress erm I work in IT it’s not a healthy environment for a body

[@carolinaguerra5207]

Well girls the part you maybe don’t know is how the night shifter manage with life and training 🙈 so hard and also in those 7 hours I get up in the middle so I can fuel myself for the 6 pm long run

[@ogbigdumpster2743]

As an 18 year old distance runner and endurance athlete, I only get 3-5 hours of sleep a night. I might get more after watching this 😂

[@radiorox0112]

6 hrs of sleep... my issue is trying to fall asleep. Takes me forever. 😴

[@radiorox0112]

Elizabeth Inpyn Thank you! ^_^

[@dux_bellorum]

I'm averaging 6.5-7 hrs I aim for 7 but its tough...

[@TheRunExperience]

Keep it high on your goal list and you'll get there!

[@marthafontelera312]

Hi Im a beginner runner and just been running for a month now for about 5 or 6 times a week about 35-40kms. And then i just stopped for a 7 days because the top of my foot hurts so bad when I strike my left foot. I can feel a sharp pain everytime right on my 1st and 2nd cuneiform and metatarsus. Its been going on for about 2-3 weeks now. I changed my shoes as well (hoping that will help with the pain). Im just wondering if you can give me some advice how to treat it? Thanks!!

[@marthafontelera312]

Your channel motivated me to go back to running so thanks heaps!!

[@TheRunExperience]

Hi Martha! We have some videos up on the channel regarding footstrike/foot strengthening. Check those out and I'd also recommend seeing your doctor or PT if pain has lasted a while.

[@marthafontelera312]

The Run Experience thank you so much! Appreciate it :)

[@shaneb6830]

Is holly on a box during times in video? 🤔 I get about 3-5 hours 🙈 😟

[@lemonlime1713]

As much as I want to sleep more, my body can't help but wake up at 5am EVERY DAY. Also if I sleep more, I won't get any running done

[@TheRunExperience]

Can you go to bed earlier?

[@FullRewardMinistries]

I get 8 or 9

[@TheAtl0001]

Best sleeping pill, some nice Sxx (it also burns calories).

[@franciscocorralesmorales7608]

According to my Garmin data, I sleep 8:45 hours a day...
